FANATICAL IMITATION. Proverbs 11:13
Keep your mind from wandering down negative
paths. They'll take you to places you don't

If you're not careful, the urgent will
drown out the important.

Without them life will run away from you.
Be honest, do not lie, cheat or steal ~
make your word your bond.
Practice helping those who are in need.
Show respect for authority: parents, teachers,
ministers, police and governmental authorities.
Let your converation always be uplifting,
never gossip, forgive and do not hold a
grudge.
Make church attendance a top priority;
it corrects your perspective on life, keeps
you sensitive to your Heavenly Father and
on the right path.
Do not shortchange your devotional time
with the Lord, this is where your strength,
wisdom and battle plan is born. Teach this
to your children.
You'll be known by the company you keep.
Be tolerant of others' beliefs, learn the
"essentials diagram" and keep
it in mind.
Express honor, love and respect for your
family. God promises long life if you do.
Make a commitment to continue learning
throughout your life.

standards that you live by.

and Reaping.
As you give God releases His blessings
so you can give even more.
Celebrate our differences: sex, race, religion,
background, appearance, abilities, and disabilities.
Watch your intake: Stay away from greasy,
fatty foods, and limit your red meat intake,
these can hurt your body. Stay away from
criticism, resentment, gossip and jealousy,
these will hurt your spirit.
Don't think too highly of yourself; you
will be disappointed.
Find an occupation that you enjoy and work
diligently at it. If you dislike your occupation,
train yourself for one you'll enjoy.
Practice health-control, excercise your
mind and body.
Seek Godly knowledge, wisdom and truth.
Spend quality time with your family and
listen to them.

to be heard.
Drink at least 2 quarts of water daily
to help cleanse your body. Drink at least
2 chapters of the Word of God each day to
purify your living.
Exercise your body each day to develop
tone and muscle. Exercise your spiritual
gifts and talents each day to develop spiritually
and to be used by God.
As you eat healthy foods, exercise your
body, get the proper sleep, release stress
to the Lord, and you will have a healthy
body.
As you practice living a moral life, being
a person of your word, and caring for others,
you will be known as a person of integrity
and good character.
Avoid voilence; practice non-violence.
